This sounds like a good beginning. You may want to double check the crowd calendar. Also to consider is the Special Halloween party dates. I love visiting this time of the year! I assume you're using the ME? If so, your room may or may not be ready when you check in (check in is 3 p.m.).

Have a great time planning your trip---it's a lot of fun.

Welcome too!

I think that is a good plan. One thing I find though it is always good to be OK with a change in the plan. I planned every day before I went this past October/November and we kept to the plan the first full day at MK (because we had the coveted Be Our Guest Reservation) then we change just about every day.

3 years ago we found ourselves going to MK every other day and did not go to Holly Wood Studios once and then this past November we went to Hollywood Studios several times.

October is great time to go! I agree check out the Mick's Not So Scary Party dates to make sure it does not interfere with your plans! Have fun.
